    I feel like the story behind the developers of the game is more interesting than the game itself. Infact, the reason the game centres around yetis is because the devs are part of the influential parody religion known as the Church of the SubGenius. Followers of the church believe humans are descended from sexy yeits. If you go down the SubGenius rabbit hole, it will lead you to some weird, arty & funny stuff. Paul Reubens, Mark Mothersbaugh, Robert Crumb, David Byrne, Nancy A. Collins, Mojo Nixon, & Half-life voice actor Harry S. Robins are just some of the known members of the church.

    Ahh, way too many relatable jokes in this one!
    From struggling to find anything worth watching on TV (while failing to comprehend how the older relatives who lecture you about gaming could sit in front of the tube all day); to getting scammed by a call girl when all you wanted was a video game; to the fact that you need 30 years of experience to get an entry-level job (130 years once AI becomes more entrenched in the workforce, and no, working on Lackadaisy, Monkey Wrench or any other viral indie animated hit isn't sufficient proof that you can be trusted to sweep Disney's floors); to getting abducted and mugged by a UFO and dealing with the emotional duress by whacking off to a picture of a woman that is not attractive or even healthy by any stretch of the imagination!
    This was a particularly good episode.

      @@TheLonelyGoomba RUclips is always cursed to show people who just scam kids thanks to some popular Roblox horror game and not give props to the actual deserving people. I also had a suggestion for a video about Toy Story 3 on the DS. I actually had the game and I will always remember that basically HALF the cast was missing and the ones that are missing are only in the cutscenes for whatever reason. I don't know where the game is but I'm not really that sad about it because watching a longplay probably proves it's a one and done game.

    i actually have heard of this game, another youtuber made a video talking about the developers history, their ties to the joke religion "church of the subgenius" and all their other games, but left this one out for another video …a video he hasn't made yet, so even though i've heard of it, i've never played it and know nothing about it
    edit: just realised i kinda casually dropped that some cultists made this, but yeah, they did. i recommend watching that aforementioned video, it's called "the subgenius cult's lost games" by rebeltaxi for the full story, and a bit of background on the "cult" itself.

I thought to myself, "oh great another goomba channel, way to go bowser you've got one hell of a workforce moonlighting on youtube. Gaijingoomba that weeb, home&gardengoomba, bdsmgoomba, just goombas everywhere. But then I saw the circumstances in which this particular goomba found himself. This poor soul, forever trapped in between two pipes, eternally cursed to play games for our amusement.
    It was a truly haunting thought that this could have happened to any of us, but where we would curl up and die, this goomba decided to LIVE.
    I am here to watch your yeti video, goomba-san, as I have watched many of your others. We will weather the low viewership storm together, as brothers.
